The near-mythical drug lord now faces life in prison

 

Jurors heard more than 200 hours of testimony from 56 witnesses (though notably not from Guzmán himself) over the course of the roughly two-and-a-half-month trial in Brooklyn

It included testimony from a fellow cartel member who claimed that Guzmán once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.  

Guzman, 61, will be sentenced on June 25. He faces the possibility of life in prison.

Here's the full list of counts:

  1. Engaging in a Continuing Criminal Enterprise
  2. International Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine and Marijuana Manufacture and Distribution Conspiracy
  3. Cocaine Importation Conspiracy
  4. Cocaine Distribution Conspiracy
  5. International Distribution of Cocaine
  6. International Distribution of Cocaine
  7. International Distribution of Cocaine
  8. International Distribution of Cocaine
  9. Use of Firearms
  10. Conspiracy to Launder Narcotics Proceeds

But wait, isn’t there a chance of rehabilitation? Maybe there is a work release program for him?

The only crime liberals feel the death penalty is appropriate is being born.

Good to get him off the street... but still not as dangerous as Roger Stone! At least if one measures by the level of force used in the arrests.

“Guzman, 61, will be sentenced on June 25.”

Sounds like they need to build a better jail first.

According to his Wikipedia page, he’d been wanted for murder in New York and other cities. What happened with that charge?

Perhaps this:

“A critical requirement for extradition was that the U.S. must guarantee they will not use the death penalty against Guzmán if he is found guilty of homicide charges.”

How sweet. Will his wives get conjugal visits for good behavior (if he stays incarcerated)?

He’s been replaced already by another cartel head; and he’s either cooperating with us to name names, or will get special treatment.

The cartels and governments tend to work hand in glove; and Mexican politicians are not the only ones susceptible to bribes of millions.

There is no indication the US federal government has any clue where his money is!
